punctate, and the punctures separated by broader intervals; the 
punctures on the elytra, which are also somewhat parallel, are finer 
and much more shallow, the pubescence on the propygidium and 
pygidium are equally dense, and only the half of the abdominal 
segments are clothed with whitish appressed hairs, the median part 
of the abdomen is likewise glabrous; the pectus is moderately 
densely pubescent, but the hairs on the prosternum, and also along 
the basal part of the base of the prothorax, are plainly fulvous, while 
the others are white; in the male, the only sex known to me, the 
inner posterior spur is very broadly dilated, and the antenne are 10- 
jointed, the club 7-jointed, but the inner joint is only a quarter of the 
length of the one following, which is also shorter than the third; 
the anterior claws have only one basal tooth, but the intermediate 
and posterior ones have two apical ones cleft in the manner of 
Schizonycha. 
Length 14 mm.; width 64 mm.

Mentum narrow, orbicular laterally, truncate at the tip but slightly 
sinuate in the middle, labial palpi small, inner lobe of maxille pro- 
duced into a slightly hooked tooth, upper lobe lamellate, somewhat 
rounded at the tip, simple and with three or four set at the apex, 
paraglossz distinct but not projecting beyond the mentum, last joint 
of maxillary palpi as long as the three joints preceding taken 
together, fusiform outwardly, straight inwardly, and with a deep 
longitudinal groove outwardly ; mandibles robust, hollowed inwardly 
but with the apical part almost truncate and ciliate ; clypeus vertical 
in front, with the anterior margin strongly reflexed, labrum oblite- 
rated, antenne 10-jointed, club 6-jointed, the joints are of equal 
length, but the fourth joint of the pedicel projects distinctly in the 
male, they are not as elongated in the female as in the male; the 
other characters are as in Sparrmannia, but the claws are more 
abruptly hooked, the basal angle is somewhat broadly lobate, and 
the post-median tooth underneath is vertical and set close to this 
lobate basal part in both sexes. 
Distinguished from Sparrmannia by the shape of the maxillary 
palpi and of the claws, and also by the obliterated labrum.
